Description: This guide shows the removal of the grinder in...

Steps:

1. First, check which model you have: is the trim frame made of chrome-plated metal (image 1) or metallized plastic (image 2)? In the first case, use this guide; in the second case, use this guide. Then return here.

2. The grinder is easily accessible from the top. It sits loosely, but is connected with two cables and one cable to the sensor.
3. Do not change any settings.

4. Carefully lift the grinder and pull off the two spade connectors from the motor. You must press in a small locking tab on each connector to do this.
5. Be sure to note which cable is connected where, so that the motor does not run in reverse later.
6. Once you have lifted the grinder, you will also see the cable for the sensor on the underside. Trace the cable to the main board. Very carefully disconnect the connector.

7. Lift the grinder straight up and out. Feed the cables through the opening in the housing.
8. The seal on the coffee grounds chute is only inserted. Be careful not to lose it.
9. The damping spring is only inserted. Be careful not to lose it.
10. When reassembling, make sure that the holes in the rubber mount around the motor are properly seated on the corresponding pins.
